Rustic Wedding Chic by Whispering Pines

It has been a little crazy over here at Whispering Pines, I have been on the road so the blog got a little behind but now we are back on a normal schedule and have some great things to show off! Today I wanted to look at how to have a great relaxed rehearsal dinner. The idea of a late summer or even early fall wedding means you have the option of having an outside BBQ style rehearsal dinner. Take a look at this photo which can offer great inspiration for your own dinner.
